Recycling and Circular Economy

At GAIKER, we have and develop mechanical recycling technologies, such as wet or dry density separation or separation methods based on automatic identification using innovative optical sensors, as well as chemical and thermochemical recycling processes, such as solvolysis, pyrolysis or gasification.

In all these cases, we have the capacity to scale up and validate the processes developed at laboratory level, as we have an industrial area with pilot plants where we can carry out demonstrations and pilot tests of waste treatment using different technologies and in sufficiently large quantities to obtain adequate and valuable information to carry out technical and economic feasibility studies.

This capacity for process scalability also covers pre-treatments, including size reduction for the release of materials, separation of unsuitable components present in complex waste mixtures, washing, conditioning in texture and shape, etc.

We carry out the full characterisation of the waste, which is the main stage in defining both the necessary pre-treatments and the final processes selected, and we cover the characterisation of the products obtained, whether they are pyrolysis oils, carbonaceous solids if the process is thermochemical or monomers or reaction products after solvolysis processes or characterisation and market analysis of recycled plastics if the treatment has been mechanical.
